to the student’s understanding of current methods andequipment used in industry at the time.It was noticed that a larger percentage of faculty had little or no industrial experience whencompared to previous years. More faculty were hired directly out of university programs, and theones that were from industry had less experience and far less responsible roles. This isparticularly bad for a discipline that is primarily concerned with the application of the conceptstaught in class.Academia, as a whole, has shifted towards research oriented programs. Many believe thatworking on basic research will help bring about innovation. The issue here is that in the majorityof the cases, the research revolves around many premises that are not practical or

Many a young engineerhad been lured to Southern California by defense industry salaries, and in so doing, they hadforgone the option of attending graduate school. However, given the wartime contributions ofscience, and the contract structures of a hypercompetitive defense industry that created strongincentives for firms to demonstrate advanced research and design capabilities, specializedtraining at the graduate level became the accepted gold standard for professional advancement.Here, there was a young workforce, many of whom had yet to form a

It will be difficult for the DR to emerge as an innovative player in the global economy without developing this wealth.In addition to resources and cost, lack of prior experiences in the country with programs likeMACILE has made the program design more challenging.

We also aim toestablish optimum conditions for efficient project-based-learning. In addition, we need tocomplete our research into the reasons behind the high drop-out rate and implementcountermeasures.

The article suggests that the educational research lacks thesocio-political ‘authority’ to bring about systematic reform. Regardless of the reason it is clear thatresearch in the field of education has not produced a history of usefulness for educators.Our particular situation is complicated further in that we have a long time scale, one semester per year,and low numbers, 12-30 students per year.

one disciplinary domain and the academic discipline is viewed as the other domain. In thiscontext, the issue is one of determining how best to align academic disciplinary learning with therelated work place practices for the student to adequately and sufficiently integrate theory withpractice, being mindful of the limits of any possible integration. That is, theory learnt may haveno current practical application or it may have several practical applications depending on itscontextual interpretation. Similarly, the practical application may have no sound theory or it maybe fully or partially described by a theory. Page 15.83.3Myers and

issues that need improvement.By the way the design experience is defined – clear and concise, virtually all projects complete afull cycle of the design process at present. For some projects, the design problems may appear, atfirst, to be too simplistic. But indeed, they are rather well-posed and provide a decent platformfor learning. For the development of soft skills, via formal meetings and informal demonstrationof actual examples of best practices, students appear to be more familiar and aware of issues inproject management and working in teams. Another finding is that, after this restructuring,virtually all groups managed to finish the projects on time. This is probably due to the better-prepared proposal, the well-thought project as well as
